THE Asia University Rankings 2025: IISc tops nationally as Shoolini emerges top private university
Shoolini tops India's private universities in THE Asia Rankings 2025, IISc retains national lead. (AI Image) THE Asia University Rankings 2025: The Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings 2025, released on April 23, present a detailed and rigorous evaluation of academic excellence across the continent. This year's edition assesses 853 universities from 35 countries and territories, based on performance across teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook. With 18 robust performance indicators, THE's globally trusted methodology continues to guide students, academics, policymakers, and industry leaders in benchmarking higher education quality. While China maintains its dominance with the top two positions and five of the top ten, countries like Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong also perform strongly—all six of Hong Kong's universities enter the top 50, a first since 2017. The rankings also welcome four new entrants: Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Mongolia, and Syria. In this competitive landscape, India records a strong showing with 20 institutions placed among Asia's top 250, led by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, and Shoolini University, the country's highest-ranked private university. Indian universities on the rise in Asia: A look at THE Asia University Rankings 2025 Indian higher education institutions have once again made notable strides in the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings 2025, reflecting both the enduring strength of traditional public universities and the growing momentum of private institutions. With India claiming significant positions across multiple performance indicators—research quality, industry engagement, international outlook, teaching, and research environment—the rankings shed light on the evolving academic landscape in the region. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads View Deals Undo Among the prominent institutions, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) remains the country's academic torchbearer, securing a joint 38th place in Asia. At the same time, private players such as Shoolini University of Biotechnology and Management Sciences have made substantial inroads, with Shoolini becoming the highest-ranked private university in India for the second year running. The data reflects a broader trend of diversification and excellence in Indian academia, with institutions aligning more closely with global benchmarks of research and innovation. Indian Institute of Science leads, but others are closing the gap The Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, tops the Indian chart with an overall score of 65.2, achieving the 38th rank in Asia. It demonstrates significant strength in Industry Engagement with a score of 97.3, followed by robust performances in Teaching (68.1) and Research Quality (64.1). These metrics solidify IISc's position as a premier research institution, known for balancing theoretical knowledge with practical innovation. In contrast, Anna University, ranked 111th, reveals a high Research Quality score of 80.0—even higher than IISc—suggesting a commendable volume of high-impact publications. However, its International Outlook (20.2) and Teaching (43.3) scores remain relatively modest, highlighting the need for more global collaboration and pedagogical development. Performance of other notable Indian institutions Among other high-performing institutions, the Indian Institute of Technology Indore, ranked 131st, showcases a strong Research Quality score of 70.8 and a balanced profile across teaching and internationalisation. Mahatma Gandhi University, ranked 140th, offers moderate scores across the board, with its highest performance in Teaching at 53.5. Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences and Jamia Millia Islamia, ranked 149th and 161st respectively, both exhibit strong Research Quality scores—83.4 and 75.4—but lower scores in International Outlook (72.5 and 40.4) and Teaching (40.8 and 48.7). Their research dominance suggests potential for stronger global engagement and improvements in the classroom environment. Other institutions like the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati and KIIT University, both ranked =184, present similar overall scores (44.8) but differ in performance areas. KIIT, with a higher Industry Engagement score of 55.9, edges ahead in real-world applications, whereas IIT Guwahati performs better in Research Quality and Teaching. Emerging universities show promising trends A group of Indian universities within the 201–250 band, including Banaras Hindu University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani, show promising trends. For instance, BITS Pilani demonstrates strong Research Quality (71.9) and solid Industry Engagement (42.0). Meanwhile, Jawaharlal Nehru University displays a well-rounded profile with noteworthy scores in Teaching (49.7) and Research Environment (27.4). Lovely Professional University, also in the 201–250 band, stands out with a Research Quality score of 81.4 and a decent International Outlook (48.8), but its lower Teaching score (25.2) and Industry Engagement (24.0) suggest room for pedagogical and practical enhancement. Shoolini University breaks barriers as India's top private institution Shoolini University has emerged as a powerful force among Indian institutions, ranking 146th in Asia and 5th overall in India. Notably, it holds the title of No.1 Private University in India for the second consecutive year. It scores an impressive 81.5 in Research Quality and 71.4 in International Outlook, placing 2nd and 4th in India, respectively, in these categories. The university also ranks 14th in India for Research Environment (233rd in Asia), 49th in India for Teaching (263rd in Asia), and 67th in India for Industry Engagement (617th in Asia). These achievements reflect Shoolini's strategic emphasis on research-led education, global partnerships, and its commitment to innovation. As Vice Chancellor Atul Khosla remarked, the university's continued top ranking 'is a matter of pride,' underscoring a focused effort on maintaining academic excellence and international relevance. Its consistent appearance among the Top 200 universities in Asia for three consecutive years reinforces its trajectory as a rising academic leader.

While public universities like IISc continue to lead, institutions such as Shoolini University exemplify how private universities are closing the gap, particularly through innovation, research intensity, and internationalisation. As Indian universities continue to recalibrate their strategies around global benchmarks, the country is poised to play a larger role in the international academic community. This year's rankings highlight both the progress and the challenges facing India's higher education sector. With the right blend of policy support, institutional autonomy, and global engagement, India's universities are well-positioned to further ascend in the years ahead.
